Chicken Caesar Pasta Salad Is An Easy Crowd-Pleaser

Combine two favorite salads into this crowd-friendly chicken Caesar pasta salad. It features the iconic chicken Caesar taste along with sweet, tangy bursts of tomato, crunchy crisp romaine lettuce, and juicy rotisserie chicken. Everything is dressed in a creamy Caesar dressing, which is brightened and amplified by fresh lemon juice and black pepper. This is a delicious way to get all the flavors and textures you love about a Caesar salad and a pasta salad but in one dish that's great to make ahead for weekday lunches. If you do make it ahead however, wait to add the lettuce and croutons until just before serving to prevent them from becoming soggy.
